It just oozes quality in comparison to the GS, not to mention all the features and kit that come stock. Great video thanks

I tried off road mode the first time and it took about a minute to adjust and after that, it was so much fun going through light off road and nothing crazy. I feel this motorcycle definitely has a lot of power in my opinion. I can easily hist over 100mph in the parkway with no trouble. Not sure if I want to go any faster. I just love this bike but I would love to try KTM Superadventure and BMW. Ducati is just out of my budget and Harley has to many horror stories but I'm not sure if they are true but it still scares me.

On my second Tiger, first one was a 2010, second one is the XRT. Both very good bikes. I think it is the engine that I like so much. I was greedy, wanted more options ! For the price you can not grumble compared to the other competitors in it's class. I do find it a challenge to move , but once you are on the fly, the weight dissipates. A good all round bike, like it has always been ! Thanks for your review. Will be glad to get on some twisties.

Nice video. I came from the Africa Twin and VFR1200X. I rode the 1290 Super Adventure S, Ducati Multistrada 1260S, BMW GS 1200 Adventure, Yamaha Tenere 1200 and a 2018 Tiger 1200 XCa. I went to the dealer to ride the Multistrada. When I got off the Ducati, the dealer said check out the Tiger. I was going to pass since I read it was heavy and had less horsepower, but the dealer suggested I forget the paper numbers and ride it. He was right, I'm glad I did. Based on reading the specs, I thought it was some slow tank of a bike but I was completely wrong. I had owned a Speed Triple and Street Triple in the past and I suspect that is why I picked the Tiger 1200. There is just something about the way that Triumph does triples that rubs me right. Motor wise, I probably liked the Honda's V4 in the VFR1200X second, but that bike is really outdated compared to the others. The KTM felt like a tractor, the Multistrada felt more like a finicky sport bike, the BMW and Tenere were kind of similar to my surprise, but the BMW was higher quality than the Yamaha, of course. I have not ridden the S 1000 XR though. Another surprise was the power on these bikes. On paper the Tiger is down on power, but when ridden back to back, the Tiger feels every bit as powerful as the other bikes mentioned. And it is faster than the VFR, Tenere and GS (1200) for sure. I ride regularly with a guy on a Multistrada 1260 S and when he takes off to pass, the Tiger is right there with it. So the Ducati may be quicker from a dig, but from a 60 mph roll on, where it matters, it matches the performance of the 1260, in my experience. And sounds much better doing it, imo. The downsides on the Triumph are its weight and how hot the engine gets in summer stop and go traffic. Otherwise, its a pretty great bike. Of course, I wish it was 75 lbs lighter and had 20 more hp :)

Nice honest review. I am also coming from loving a sport bike background and when I rode this tiger 1200. It felt like 100% benefits with no sacrifices. It handles beautifully, the motor is quick and very responsive, the suspension is a dream. If you ride with a passenger, there is no need to avoid and bumps, bike just tanks through them like a escalade. I also rode the GS1200. That felt good but kind of old. Tiger has more spirit and adventure. I just ordered the tiger and get it in 2 weeks. Can't wait to go out for some rides.

Thanks for the video, and I live in Santa Rosa so I was familiar with every square inch of your video'd ride. You definitely made that hill look easier than it is on my 2010 Triumph Thunderbird 1600. I love the build quality of my Triumph, I've had a V-Strom 650 for the last 5 years and am upgrading the adventure bike...Triumph is at the top of my list and I'm trying to decide whether the 900 GT PRO or the 1200 XRT is right for me...The shaft drive of the 1200 is very attractive so I don't even have to mess around with chain cleaning and lubing. Guess I'll go throw a leg over both and see what feels the best. By the way, Eurocycle in Sonoma is actually Windsor California and they no longer sell Triumphs there, although they will do basic service like oil change. They can order parts from their Vegas store if you are patient, but last time I tried to get a couple crush washers from them, they forgot to order them, and so I just ended up driving to San Rafael and got them from Marin Speed Shop, which is the closest Triumph Dealer in the North Bay. Thanks for your video, really appreciated it!

I added the heated grips and the additional fog lights. It has enough power, I do not need the extra power of the 1200. Some time ago, I tested the GS 1200. It is a good bike, but I would never change my Tiger to a GS. The GS feels like a car on two wheels.

I don't think they are "manufactured"....but rather "assembled" in Thailand. The same is true for my Bonneville T120. It's just like most companies where the parts are sourced multi nationally and final assembly is in Thailand. I don't have an issue with this.

I have an 18 Bonneville T120 Black....I've been eye balling these for awhile. My T120 sex appeal = 10 / Tiger 1200 sex appeal = 0....but who's trying to be sexy whilst adventuring and I don't need any more woman problems HAHA. It's still cheaper than a marriage/divorce.

Adventure touring is getting off the paved road and on the country dirt roads and even logging roads. Your just Touring , might as well have a Honda Goldwing or a Sportbike..

"The best" doesn't mean anything. However, youtubers love to persuade followers that they found the holy Grail... You can eventually say "my favorite", but the best for you may be the worst for most of us.

Hard seat, vibrates, poor wind protection and chippy suspension on the road. Engine wants to pull your arms off though. Yeah, I want one too.

( 8 minutes later) Just checked and no didn’t hear a awful lot about why the triumph Tiger 1200XRT is the best adventure bike. I heard about BMW,Ducati , the new Tiger900 the new tiger 1200 but not a lot about the bike your riding so well around those lovely bends. Nice riding though.

A owner if a GS just told me... "Mate... You have probably the best bike of the market this moment..." And i believe so... Also... GS has less HP, less specs... Less style 😉 but it's a great bike! These kind of bikes are much more a question of personal taste than any other issue! Because they are all great 👍 Tiger, GS, Multistrada and KTM... Ride safe
